EMOTIONS REVEALED, 2ND EDITION
Recognizing Faces and Feelings to Improve Communication and Emotional Life
Paul Ekman
Owl Books, 2007
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
The reader will be familiar with research on universal facial expressions and be able to identify subtle expressions of anger, sadness, fear, surprise, disgust, contempt, and happiness.
This book provides the story of fieldwork investigating universal facial expressions in the United States, Japan, Brazil, and Papua New Guinea. Additionally, it reviews Ekman's research on the prognosis of hospital patients based on their emotional attitude, and much other research on the recognition and expression of emotion. The book explores the evolutionary and behavioral essences of each emotion, the universal themes that undergird them, and the automatic reactions that unfold within microseconds. The book then goes through the unique visual signals for each emotion, describing the subtle expressions that show when someone is beginning to feel an emotion or may be trying to suppress it.
